Here's what I am busy making and doing!!!

I have been busy making gift baskets and just thought I'd pop in and show you!! I have this little gift basket listed in my Etsy shoppe but wrapped it up pretty to take to the craft show with me tomorrow! Once again Sim will be there with me. I am happy about that! We have had one rough week here! Sim had 2 Aunts die within 9 hours of each other. And then on Monday Brooke found out her Grandma had died. So we had three relatives from this house up at our funeral home. The funerals were on Wednesday, Thursday, and today Friday was Brooke's Grandmas. We also found out that they are closing Sim's Kroger store he is Grocery Manager at this week too. He will be transferred to another store but does not know where yet. It is closing the first of the year. So crafting and getting ready for the craft show sure has been a blessing!! There are alot of blessings in life and I am holding on to them.

Here are a few more gift baskets I made up. I have more done and more to pack up. I will share pics of the show, we are going tonight to set up. It's in a town about a half hour from here. Kinda a cool town. Like I said I am excited to re-focus and spend some time with Sim and Kindred Spirits.

I'm so sorry for all of your losses, dear Fran. Having our creative outlet is indeed a blessing during difficult times. Your creations are lovely and I'm sure you'll have great success at the show!xoxoKaren

My goodness you have been busy. I knew the craft show was coming up. I hope it was a happy success in every way!

Somehow I missed the fact that you are married to the grocery man. So am I! Len is a front end manager. I know how hearing the news of his transfer must feel. We have been through that a couple of times. I think Len has done every position in the store. It was his first job as a kid and will most likely be his last job till the end.Praying that an opening will be close but God has it all in the palm of his hand.

I now have Mon and Tuesday off for awhile. It's weird but wonderful. Len has to work today so I'll have two days to myself. I plan to stay home. Kara is coming over tomorrow to straighten my locks again and we are baking her favorite cupcakes as a trial for the wedding. No cake wanted, they are both going with their favorite cupcakes.

Happy Thanksgiving dear one. I think of you so often, I'm so thankful for our friendship.

Oh Fran, I know all too well about the losses of family. We also buried three from our family within two weeks in November. It was a rough month for sure! That's one of the reasons I'm so far behind on everything... Christmas, blogging but somehow it all worked out (well I know that somehow is God) and I'm thankful that He lead us through it.

About Me

Hi guys!! I am a Funky Farm House lovin kinda gal! I am also an up cycle artist who loves taking rusty and vintage junque and making it into cool and unique items. I hand sew all my creations. I love estate, yard, garage, church sales, and thrift stores!! I also gather rusty junque and nature things on my walks or in my yard. I have my own style and my family and friends call it Fran-Style!! My favorite colors are orange and brown. I drive a orange car. I drink a lot of coffee and I also use it to grubby up my creations. I am blonde and flighty and it has followed me all of my life!! It may take me a minute to get things!! But I eventually do!! Laughing at myself is one of my favorite things to do besides creating!! I call our home "The Funky Farmhouse" cuz believe me it can get alittle bit funky and wild n crazy around here!! I am married to my best friend Sim. I love making new friends here on my blog with kindred spirits!! Thanks for stoppin by my lil corner of the world!! XOXO Love ya Fran.
